Aunt Li sighed: "That family's hearts have also wandered since they saw that Huo's third son married a city educated youth. They even asked me to help them act as matchmakers just a couple of days ago!"
Lu Mingfa said angrily, "Don't bother with them, let them do whatever they want! Let's see what they can do! Comparing herself to Huo's third son? You can hardly find another kid like Huo's third son in the surrounding villages. What makes her think she can compare? She's been the brigade leader for a few years, and now she thinks she's all that!"
Aunt Li was relieved to hear what her husband said.
She was naturally a thousand times, ten thousand times unwilling to act as a matchmaker. When she was the matchmaker for Ye Zhiqing and Huo Laosan, it was something they had already agreed upon; she was just going through the motions.
Zhao, the educated youth, is clearly stringing her foolish niece along. Everyone in the village with eyes can see that. Only her sister-in-law's family is still dreaming!
That night, Ye Weiwei stayed at the new house, sharing a bed with her aunt-in-law, and the two whispered to each other for half the night.
Ye Weiwei's aunt secretly shared some tips on how to get along with her husband. These were things that Weiwei's mother should have done, but given the current situation at home, only she could do it.
Anyway, she has always treated this niece like her own daughter.
The two chatted until midnight before going to sleep.
While her aunt was asleep, Ye Weiwei secretly used her wood-based supernatural abilities to regulate her body, so that she wouldn't stay up too late and be tired the next day.
The next morning, Huo Xiao and his wife Liu Guilan arrived.
Liu Guilan and her eldest daughter-in-law got up early to make fried dough cakes and steamed buns for her younger uncle's family to take on the road.
The group escorted them to the village entrance. Before leaving, the second cousin didn't forget to threaten Huo Xiao, "If you dare to bully my little sister, I won't let you get away with it!"
Huo Xiao was speechless at his cousin's constant provocations.
Before leaving, the older cousin pulled Ye Weiwei aside and whispered something to her. It wasn't until the younger uncle saw that it was almost time that he called her into the car to say goodbye to everyone.
Watching the car drive away, Ye Weiwei stood at the village entrance for a long time until the car was out of sight before going home with Huo Xiao and her parents-in-law.
That night, Zhao Mingzhe got up to use the toilet in the middle of the night and fell into the cesspool again.
Ye Weiwei couldn't help but laugh when she heard the news.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Mingzhe suffered as soon as his older cousin and the others left.
It's only been a few days, and Zhao Mingzhe has already fallen into the latrine twice. I wonder if he'll develop a psychological trauma from using the toilet.
Zhao Mingzhe not only has psychological trauma, but he's practically psychologically twisted.
The first time he fell into the cesspool, although he didn't know who did it, he had a guess in his mind that it was most likely related to Huo Xiao.
It must be Huo Xiao retaliating against him because of what he said to Ye Weiwei.
He was in the wrong, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and admit defeat.
This second time, however, was clearly a blatant act of retaliation.
This man is Zhao Dabao from the village.
Zhao Dabao liked Lu Xiaolan, and the two families originally intended to arrange a marriage between them. However, after Zhao Mingzhe came to the village as an educated youth, he directly bewitched Lu Xiaolan, and the marriage that was originally planned fell through.
Zhao Dabao was furious, but because Lu Xiaolan's father was the brigade leader, he could only swallow his anger for the time being.
Seeing Lu Xiaolan fawning over Zhao Mingzhe every day, practically throwing herself at him, while Zhao Mingzhe remained aloof and indifferent, Zhao Dabao had long been fed up and was secretly plotting to find a reason to teach Zhao Mingzhe a lesson.
Ye Weiwei's eldest and second cousins had been in the village for the past few days and had gotten along well with the villagers. They inquired about Ye Weiwei's affairs in the village, which naturally led to Zhao Mingzhe's involvement.
After learning what Zhao Mingzhe had done, how could they possibly swallow their anger?
Before, with his younger sister protecting him, they couldn't mess with Zhao Mingzhe. Now that his younger sister doesn't take him seriously at all, the opportunity to get revenge has finally arrived!
Originally, the second cousin, Zhang Haoran, was going to deal with Zhao Mingzhe directly, but he was stopped by the eldest cousin.
He had many considerations and didn't want this matter to affect his father and younger sister, so he inquired around the village and eventually identified Zhao Dabao as the suspect.
Under the skillful encouragement of his older cousin Zhang Juncheng, and with Huo Xiao's exemplary performance as a precedent, Zhao Dabao was easily swayed. He waited for several days until Zhao Mingzhe finally got up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night...
This has caused quite a stir.
Zhao Mingzhe couldn't stand it and went directly to the village chief.
After figuring out what had happened, Lu Mingfa was so angry he didn't know what to say. He gave Zhao Dabao a severe scolding and made Zhao Dabao apologize to Zhao Mingzhe.
When Lu Xiaolan arrived at the brigade headquarters after hearing the news, she saw Zhao Dabao stubbornly refusing to apologize. She was so angry that she cursed Zhao Dabao, calling him a busybody and a toad trying to eat swan meat.
Her actions completely broke Zhao Dabao's heart, and after apologizing, he ran away with red eyes.
Lu Xiaolan showered Zhao Mingzhe with concern and affection, which annoyed him to no end. Lu Mingfa, finding it an eyesore, waved them away.
The villagers told the story of Zhao Mingzhe falling into the latrine as a joke for several days. When Zhao Mingzhe walked on the road, people around him would subconsciously cover their noses and keep their distance from him, as if he hadn't washed properly. This angered Zhao Mingzhe so much that he didn't dare to go out for many days.
The next day was an auspicious day for moving, so Ye Weiwei and Huo Xiao moved to the courtyard behind the village.
Ye Weiwei remembered that Huo Xiao had said before that he wanted his parents-in-law to live with them when they separated the family, so she went to ask Liu Guilan if she wanted to move in with them.
Liu Guilan did not agree.
“You two are still newlyweds and your love is still fresh in your hearts. Why would we two old folks come to stay with you? Besides, the little ones at home still need someone to look after them. Once you and your third son have a child, then I'll come over and help you take care of the baby.”
Hearing Liu Guilan talk about the child, Ye Weiwei felt a little uncomfortable. Thinking of how she and Huo Xiao had been shameless and unrestrained lately, she suddenly felt a chill!
Could it really be true?
In the apocalypse, due to the virus, even ordinary people without superpowers have a much lower chance of getting pregnant, let alone those with superpowers.
So, she hadn't really thought about having children before.
Although her current body also possesses superpowers, it hasn't been mutated by the virus. Given the frequency of her interactions with Huo Xiao these past two days, it's hard to say for sure.
She has always been quite laid-back about having children; if she gets pregnant, she'll have the baby, since it's not like she can't afford to raise them.
Moreover, given her and Huo Xiao's good looks, their child is bound to be quite good-looking.
Thinking about it this way, I suddenly feel a little bit of anticipation.
Liu Guilan had no idea what Ye Weiwei was thinking. She assumed she was just shy and embarrassed, so she patted her hand with a smile and said, "Alright, you and Lao San should live a good life together. If anything happens, come to your mother. If Lao San treats you badly, just tell your mother, and she'll help you deal with him."
Ye Weiwei smiled and said, "Okay."
